"Come Ye Blessed" is one of the two territorial songs of the British overseas territory of the Pitcairn Islands, the other being "We from Pitcairn Island".[1] "Come Ye Blessed" is also the official territorial song of the Australian territory of Norfolk Island and is sung at most island events. It is also known as the "Pitcairn Anthem" in Norfolk Island, suggesting it may have been already in use and brought by Pitcairn Islanders upon their arrival in 1856.[2]
The lyrics are taken from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25, verses 34–36 and 40.[3][4] The music was composed by John Prindle Scott (1877–1932) and published in 1917.[5] "God Save the King" remains the official national and royal anthem of the Pitcairn Islands and the official royal anthem of Norfolk Island.[3]
Then shall the King Say unto them On his right hand: Come ye blessed of my Father Inherit the kingdom prepared for you From the foundation of the world I was hunger’d and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in, Naked and ye clothed me, I was sick and ye visited me, I was in prison and ye came unto me In as much ye have done it unto one of the least of These my brethren Ye have done it unto me, Ye have done it unto me.[4][6]
